Subject: Re: Fan adjustment meadows S4 engine
David,
The pinch bolt is in fact a two piece clamp, even slacking off the nut will not loosen the clamp. You may have to tap the "bolt" side of the clamp out, and then remove the other half of the clamp which is a collar onto the bolt - I could take some photo's if you wish. The four holes in the fan spindle are for adjustment on the eccentric. Personally I would avoid the use of a hammer on the housing - they are well known for breaking around the four mounting holes. An obstruction spanner will work on the back bolts. Hope this helps.
